NOTE: Please do not, under any circumstances, share IMAGES OR VIDEOS from Beta in this or any public Forum thread. Violations can cause players to lose their Beta accounts, or threads to be closed down.

:thinking: What’s this all about?

Click Here for Details About This Thread's Intention & Format

Often players on the Forum wonder about what’s going on in Beta.

If you’re a regular reader of the Forum, then you’ll find that there’s actually abundant conversation about what’s going on in Beta at any given time.

And that’s actually allowed!

What’s restricted is images and videos — but discussion is ok:

The challenge is that information is often scattered around the Forum. I’ve created The Beta Beat to help centralize it for those who are interested.

The Beta Beat is a series of threads which are evolving as I get feedback on what’s helpful to players.

My main focus is giving some high-level guidance of what’s going on in current testing, so players outside of Beta can be better informed.

Like Beta itself, this thread is experimental and will evolve based on your feedback.

Information from Beta is frankly often mostly useless, so don’t get too attached.

Details from Beta, especially brand-new Beta content, don’t tend to be very reliable for actual release.

It’s incredibly common that heroes and features are changed during Beta testing, or sometimes even after testing but before release.

That is, after all, the purpose of Beta testing.

So I wouldn’t get too attached to any information from Beta — it’s not unheard of for entire portions of hero skills to be removed or reworked, or for radical changes to hero stats to be made, or for large chunks of new functionality to be completely changed.

Often Incomplete Information Circulates

Many of us have seen screenshots and other information shared on LINE, Discord, Facebook, and other groups — often without context or explanation.

These can lead to confusion and misunderstanding.

Often, early Beta information — the least reliable or useful — is circulated
and then updated information is missed.

I’m hoping centralizing some high-level information on the Forum may help to reduce this as well.

What’s Going on in Beta Right Now

IMPORTANT: I wouldn’t get too attached to any information from Beta — it’s not unheard of for entire portions of heroes or functionality to be removed, reworked, or radically changed beyond recognition.

:left_speech_bubble: Feedback?

I’d love to hear thoughts on whether this information and format is useful, and how you’d like to see information presented in the future. Any thoughts or ideas?

Please try to limit discussion in this thread mostly to the information sharing process and feedback on the thread, so we don’t end up with a jumbled discussion of a bunch of different heroes — use the threads linked above for each individual hero to discuss more.

Thanks! :slight_smile:

Is this Trermous as the title says or Tremors? I don’t know if this is some kind of a wordplay or a typo.

ughhh. though as long as this feature is only valid for PvE, I can live with it
 if it leaks into PVP, I won’t be happy

Does the return of Gaillard and Penolite to beta mean, that we are to expect the gargoyle event in june or july?

Are they back? Isn’t that under the ‘other beta content’ which has everything shown in previous betas, but not live yet.

They were not mentioned in Beta Beat after V43. So they are back after 4 months of absence.

All the stuff in the “other beta content” is not in this current round of testing. It is a catalog of stuff that has been tested but not live yet.

So no, Gaillard and Penolite (and any possible associated event) is not in this beta testing round.

As @VeryQuietly has written these are non released contents, which will might come in Version 48 or not, but I am not expecting the Gargolyes in Version 48.

i have a feeling we’ll see them around July/August. The focus right now is getting these challenge event costumes out. I expect June to release the final 3 costumes and afterwards, maybe see Gargoyles come out. This would put it more in line with the second half of 2022.
